Leslie McNabb (28) believes in the power of youth and the importance of exposing them to other cultures and ways of life. In her work as a Project Supervisor for Canada World Youth, Leslie has seen first-hand the change that comes over young people when their eyes are opened to the world. “I honestly believe that if we could all spend some time in someone else’s shoes, we would see that we all have the same fundamental values,” she says. Leslie currently works in community development, providing services to inner-city residents of Winnipeg.
